Mr_Danger Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's basically Cocoon without the charming dancing old biddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 "Cocoon" is a great 80s film. Doesn't get the props it deserves, IMHO. "Cocoon: The Return" is a bit sad though. Real tearjerker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted January 27, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2018 Bad Day for the Cut is terrific. It's on Netflix, and like Blue Ruin with an aul Irish fella. Highly recommended, 5 "Ah, Jayus" out of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted January 27, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Finally caught the recent Murder on the Orient Express. Having not seen other versions I was pleased with how it played out. Great cast but can’t say I loved it. Probably make a great lazy Sunday afternoon film. Really enjoyed Coco, even if I saw the twist coming really early . Even my 4 year old enjoyed it, though the overall concept was obviously lost on her.  Next up for me is The Shape of Water on Tuesday. Cannot wait for that one Edited January 31, 2018 by Nick Soapdish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my pet peeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw this tonight. I expect it will seeep the Oscars. I think I preferred Three Billboards as a film, but this is a piece of art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted January 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 31, 2018 They are really going with this "Fifty Shade of..." stuff aren't they? They should have remade "Emmanuelle" or something, they had some unintentional comedy. "Fifty Shades.." films take themselves so fecking seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Cars 3, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, Finding Dory, Monsters University didn't rely on plot twists, and those are the most recent Pixar releases so that 'oh you should know anyway it's obvious' defense is nonsense.

There is no statute of limitations on spoilers. They are pretty much always avoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Hollywood studio needs more motivation than that. They're getting their money's worth for what they paid for the rights, which, I'd imagine, was probably a substantial sum.

True story, in my TV days I worked with a lady called Erika Leonard. She gave me my first crew job for a Kasabian concert. Really sweet woman. She left that company a few months later and then a few years after that became famous for writing Fifty Shades of Gray under the pen name E.L. James. Totally not what I would have expected from her at all. Always the quiet ones though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
